Resumo
Introdução: A Fibromialgia (FM) é uma síndrome de dor crônica que atinge milhões de pessoas no mundo. Ela prejudica a sensibilidade à dor, a funcionalidade e a qualidade de vida, sendo uma das principais causas de incapacidade. A FM ainda é um desafio para a ciência e a tecnologia, o que demanda novas estratégias terapêuticas. Objetivo: Sumarizar evidências sobre os efeitos da estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua na dor e qualidade de vida de mulheres com fibromialgia. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica de estudos clínicos primários, realizada entre agosto a novembro de 2023, nas bases de dados: PubMed, PEdro e Portal BVS, com os descritores em inglês: “Fibromyalgia” OR “Fibrositis” AND “Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation” OR “tDCS” AND “Pain” AND “Quality of Life” AND “Randomized Controlled Trial” para identificar estudos que analisaram os efeitos da estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (ETCC) na dor e/ou qualidade de vida de mulheres com FM. Foram excluídos estudos que combinaram a ETCC com outras modalidades terapêuticas, estudos com populações menores de 18 anos, estudos com outras populações com dor além da FM e estudos publicados em periódicos não indexados. Resultados: As buscas identificaram 47 (quarenta e sete) estudos, contudo, após análise, apenas 6 (seis) foram incluídos nesta revisão. Nossa amostra é composta de estudos clínicos randomizados, com 318 mulheres entre 18 e 65 anos, publicadas até agosto de 2022. Os principais resultados indicam que a ETCC real, ou simulada, promoveu melhoras significativas na percepção da dor e qualidade de vida. Além disso, foram reportados efeitos colaterais como dores de cabeça leve ou intensa, tontura, sensação de formigamento e dores locais onde ocorreu o estímulo da ETCC. Conclusão: Nossos resultados indicam que ETCC promove melhora significativa na dor e qualidade de vida de mulheres com Fibromialgia.
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pain syndrome that affects millions of people worldwide. It impairs pain sensitivity, functionality and quality of life, being one of the main causes of disability. FM is still a challenge for science and technology, which demands new therapeutic strategies. Objective: To summarize evidence on the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on pain and quality of life of women with fibromyalgia. Methodology: This is a bibliographic review of primary clinical studies, conducted between August and November 2023, in the databases: PubMed, PEdro and Portal BVS, with the descriptors in English: “Fibromyalgia” OR “Fibrositis” AND “Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation” OR “tDCS” AND “Pain” AND “Quality of Life” AND “Randomized Controlled Trial” to identify studies that analyzed the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on pain and/or quality of life of women with FM. Studies that combined tDCS with other therapeutic modalities, studies with populations under 18 years old, studies with other populations with pain besides FM and studies published in non-indexed journals were excluded. Results: The searches identified 47 (forty seven) studies, however, after analysis, only 6 (six) were included in this review. Our sample consists of randomized clinical trials, with 318 women between 18 and 65 years old, published until August 2022. The main results indicate that real or sham tDCS promoted significant improvements in pain perception and quality of life. In addition, side effects such as mild or intense headache, dizziness, tingling sensation and local pain where the tDCS stimulus occurred were reported. Conclusion: Our results indicate that tDCS promotes significant improvement in pain and quality of life of women with Fibromyalgia.
